sometimes I have so much on hand..)

2 potatoes, sliced, peepled ot not as you prefer
1 carrot, sliced
2 leeks, washed very very carefully
1 stalk celery
1 t thyme dried
1 t dried dill weed
10 stalks of asparagus, sliced. use as much of it as you can
2 C chpped spinach, preferably fresh
white pepper
boil water, add rice, potatoes and carrots cook til potatoes are tender
(not cooked through but tender). Add everything except the asparagus tips.
Simmer til rice and ptoatoes are cooked through. Add the asparagus tips
and wilt them.
